Translation notes
[edit]This article was translated and adapted from German Wikipedia's Wartesteine, revision 269186759, dated 29 July 2026. The source article's revision history identifies its contributors.
The English title follows the entry "toothing-stones" in A Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, reproduced by Encyclopedia.com. The definition explicitly includes bricks, as described by the Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz. German synonyms have been moved out of the opening sentence. All ten original illustrations are retained.
The Rimini caption identifies the pictured building as San Francesco Saverio, Rimini, also called the Church of the Suffragio. The German caption calls it only "San Francesco"; the Commons file description and Rimini Turismo identify the building more precisely. The general assertion that Italian façades remained unfinished to save money has been omitted because the reasons need to be established separately for each building. Rimini Turismo, for example, attributes the interruption there to the suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773.
The original Heidelberg and Deutsches Textarchiv links could not be opened, but alternative digitizations were consulted. Mothes's entries on printed pages 427 and 448 were checked against the page images on Internet Archive. The entry on page 427 itself supplies the English equivalent "toothing-stones". Wanderley's text was checked in the TextGrid Repository: printed pages 7 and 14 describe Schmatzen as Austrian usage, and page 67 describes exposed toothing awaiting a facing. The German article's first Wanderley page number, 22, has therefore been replaced with 7 and 14. Publisher details were added, and the references link to the accessible digitizations.
The citations use {{sfn}} short footnotes and {{cite book}}, {{cite web}} and {{cite encyclopedia}} entries under Sources. Wanderley's facing passage is cited to page 67, and Austrian terminology to pages 7 and 14. The undated web sources use "n.d." in the short footnotes. The two Mothes entries share a single bibliography entry; its fourth edition, 1884 date, publisher Otto Spamer and places Leipzig and Berlin were checked against the title page. Printed pages 427 and 448 correspond to Archive image endpoints page/n438.jpg and page/n459.jpg; Wanderley's TextGrid text identifies printed pages directly. A {{Source-attribution}} notice acknowledges reuse of the two public-domain books.
The distinction from demolition remains has no separate citation in the German original and still requires an independent source. Apart from the Rimini identification, the detailed historical interpretations in the image captions are translated from the source article rather than independently verified.
The German see-also entry Wartezahnung overlaps with this article's subject and has no English counterpart in the source article's language links. It has not been linked to Toothing, which is an unrelated article.
